Noble title?
Xia Lan was stunned for a moment.
He had inherited his godfather Pan's title, so he could be considered a noble, right?
Thinking of this, he took a step forward.
At the same time, two of the eleven people living in barrack C13 also took a step forward.
Amongst them was Chou, who had seen the Gengyi many times, and a man called Jian Qian.
Through these two days of interaction, Xia Lan knew that Jian Qian's ancestor was a merchant from the Wei Kingdom. In the generation he instructed, he came to the Qin Kingdom from the Wei Kingdom and settled down in Ten Mile Village.
And that year was the Battle of Changping, the war was at a stalemate, and the Qin and Zhao countries began to compete in national strength.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin issued an edict to donate food to the nobility.
Jian Qian's grandfather had donated 2000 dans of food at once and obtained a noble title.
After his grandfather's death, this title was passed down to his father. Later on, his family declined, and when the title reached him, he was only a public official.
After standing up, Xia Lan scanned the area and realized that there were less than 100 people with titles among the 2,000 people in the Drill Ground!
This made Xia Lan somewhat puzzled.
The Qin Country had a twenty grade military merit system. Killing enemies on the battlefield could grant one a title, and if one died on the battlefield, the title could be inherited.
Why were there so few people with titles on the Drill Ground?
"I hereby announce that all of you with titles of nobility are the station commanders and sergeant of your barracks!”
Seeing that everyone had already stepped out, Wang Li shouted from the high platform.
These words caused a lot of discussion.
In previous years, the captains and sergeants of this barrack were elected by each barrack.
Although most of the time, the barrack selection was also to select people with titles to be the chief of the station, if the ordinary soldiers had served the night shift many times, the people in the barrack were more willing to choose them.
After all, in the competition, those who achieved outstanding results would receive a considerable reward.
Among all of this, a good station chief was especially important.
As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, many officers immediately began to count the numbers in the crowd.
"Everyone, if Duke Naigong becomes the station chief, he will definitely lead the brothers in the barracks to win first place. The two of you, don't compete with Duke Naigong!”
Butcher Chou looked at Xia Lan and the others from barrack C13.
His words made Xia Lan frown slightly.
This "Naigong" meant "Laozi".
When Ugly spoke, he kept saying "Lao Zi" and "Lao Zi", which made people really unhappy.
As for the matter of him leading everyone to the top spot, Xia Lan did not think much of it.
In his previous life, he had done many things like leading troops.
Not to mention the militia, the special forces that he had trained in his previous life were all outstanding in the International Special Forces Competition!
Xia Lan didn't care too much about the so-called reward for being the first in the battle, so she didn't say anything.
However, Jian Qian, another person with a noble title in barrack C13, was not willing.
He glanced at Chou in disdain and said in a slightly aloof manner,
"The position of station chief is occupied by the virtuous.”
The Butcher immediately glared at him."Brat!"
"What are you doing!"
Chou was just about to roll up his sleeves and rush forward when the officer's berating voice came from the side.
The officer glanced coldly at Chou and said,""This is the drill ground, and the drill ground is the military camp.”
"Violating military rules will also lead to death!”
Shang Yan resentfully withdrew his hand and stood on the spot.
The officer looked at Xia Lan, Chou, and Jian Qian before taking out a bamboo scroll and saying,""The three of you are staying in barrack C13?”
"Reporting to the High Official, that's right."
On the other hand, Jian Qian should have read some books, so he cupped his hands in response.
Xia Lan smiled and nodded.
"Who's Lan?" the officer asked.”
Hearing this, Xia Lan slowly raised her hand and said,""High Official, this subordinate's name is Lan."
The officer glanced at him and said,"So, I will be the chief of the 13th barrack, and Chou and Jian will be the sergeant."”
After saying that, the officer recorded it on the bamboo slip and prepared to leave.
"I'm not convinced!"
When he heard that the officer had actually made Xia Lan the station commander while he was only a sergeant, Chou's expression changed slightly and he immediately shouted.
Beside her, Jian Qian also looked at Xia Lan with a slight frown.
"Rude words! Disobeying military rules!"
"Ten strokes!"
When the officer who was about to leave heard Chou's words, his expression turned cold and he immediately berated him.
Immediately, the two Qin soldiers behind the officer dragged Chou out!
The officer turned around and glanced at the rest of the people in C13. He slowly said,""I created the nobility for the lord, are you still not convinced?”
Everyone looked at Xia Lan in surprise.
The emperor made the title?
Even though he was only one rank higher than the duke, there were less than a hundred people with titles among the two thousand people present. Those who could reach the rank of nobility were probably less than a handful.
Xia Lan looked like she was only in her teens, so she must have inherited the title.
After the officer finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Other than Jian Qian and Chou, who had been dragged out to be flogged, the rest of the people in barrack C13 surrounded Xia Lan and complimented,""So the station chief is a noble!"
"Young and promising, your future is limitless!”
"The station commander will definitely be able to lead us to the top!”
……
Xia Lan smiled bitterly and waved her hand.""Everyone, this title was inherited from my father and not obtained by myself.”
Thinking of foster father Pan, Lan's heart is slightly sad.
"Humph! You really have a good father!"
Jian Qian could not help but say sourly.
He had forgotten that he had inherited the title of duke from his grandfather…
At the beginning of the shift, there were no training missions. After selecting the station commanders and sergeants, Wang Li let the new station commanders lead everyone back to the barracks.
The training started in the afternoon.
Xia Lan brought everyone back to barrack C13. Everyone was still surrounding Xia Lan respectfully.
"Greetings, station commander!"
Everyone said with a smile.
Jian Qian, on the other hand, crossed his arms and stood at the side in disdain.
"Station commander, let's not talk about winning first place, can you lead us to live in that A barrack ten days later?”
Qing, who was like a bamboo pole, said excitedly.
He had already served five shifts, but he had never stayed in the A-class barrack before. However, he had once directly stayed in the T-class barrack.
Thus, living in the A-class barracks became his obsession.
Xia Lan could not help but laugh when she saw everyone's eager gazes.
Although these people were somewhat snobbish, they were also very simple and honest. They did not have any bad intentions.
As for Jian Qian…
Xia Lan glanced at Jian Qian, who was standing at the door, and laughed in her heart.
His family was well-off and he had read some books, so he was a little arrogant.
To put it bluntly, he just lacked the beating of society.
"Everyone…"
Bang!
Just as Xia Lan was about to speak, the door to the barracks was suddenly kicked open!
